Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I move amendment No. 82:

In page 24, line 25, to delete "accessible" and substitute "as fully accessible as practicable".

The Minister has addressed the substance of my amendment, which attempts to create a formula that allows as much accessibility as possible. Perhaps the Bill as it stands addresses the issue, however. Much depends on the regulations that the Minister introduces because certain vessels present bigger challenges than others for people with reduced mobility. We have to enable people with disabilities to fully enjoy ships and boats.
